ANNOUNCEMENTS
[Walter Driscoll asked to interview me in order to preserve on video some of the latest modifications and evolutions in the versions of the message offered here since 1989. He would label the discussion, "Unlearning with Floyd Henderson."
Please note: For those who have a problem hearing what is being shared, the video offers a fairly accurate set of closed captions which some listeners might want to activate.
The interview is available for viewing by clicking on video "NUMBER THIRTEEN" in the column to the right.]
1. [See the offer in gold text following this post for details on how you can watch a retreat on video which includes a detailed discussion of all seven of the steps on the path as used by Maharaj]
2. Here, with those who are still driven to talk about "god," the "Son of god," the "Holy Spirit," "Buddha," "Krishna," etc., etc., etc., the invitation to them is to view those as verbs, not nouns. See the green text after today's post for the full meaning and implications of that.
3. A new video ("Number Ten: Awakening Together Satsang, March 2018") has now been added in the far right column of this page, offering the opportunity to view a recent 2018 satsang session with Floyd being interviewed by Regina and Jacqueline of "The Awakening Together Group." (See the details in the blue text after this post.)
4. Some prefer paperback books even if they have to wait a day or so to receive it and have to pay more for a printed book and its shipment. Now, 10 paperback books by Henderson are in print and available in two anthologies through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and over 40,000+ booksellers around the globe including in the Americas, Germany, India, Italy, Poland, Russia, China, Spain, Brazil and South Korea. See the end of this post in red text for details.
5. Would you like to have us send to someone as a gift from you a copy of any ebook in our inventory? See the offer in purple text at the end of this post.
6. Or, you may purchase a Floyd Henderson Shopify Gift Card here for someone and offer recommendations for the books in Floyd's store which might be of assistance to them.
7. You may click here to visit Floyd's bookstore which offers both digital books and paperback books which deal with non-duality, non-duality-based fictional adventures, recovery, and financial budgeting.
KEY SERIES HIGHLIGHTS / REVIEW
267.
When an ego-state is assumed and upgraded and then supported by egotism,
persons automatically believe that they and their causes and desires are “good”
and the causes and desires of “others” are “evil.”
268. So, it is not “evil” that downgrades “others” to the point that they are
irrelevant, relatively speaking; it is ego and ego-state assumption and egotism
that does that. When the agendas of one’s personalities / personas are believed
to be overwhelmingly significant while the agendas of “others” are
simultaneously seen to be totally irrelevant, then “others” can as readily be
squashed as might happen with a tiny insect that crosses one’s path.
269.
It is impossible to assume an ego-state (that is, a role, persona, personality,
etc.) as an identity without triggering the use of ego-defense mechanisms, and
the most commonly-used of those mechanisms is egotism.
270. That, in turn, triggers distortion, delusion and even insanity, for what
could be more insane than for persons to believe that mirages are real, to
believe that they are actually a composite of many mirages, and then to believe
that they - their mirages - are the most wonderful collection of mirages of all
time.
Yet,
dualistically, there are some who can become convinced simultaneously (and,
therefore, insanely) that they are the worst mirages of all, that they are the
most shameful mirages of all, and they are the most guilt-ridden mirages of all
time.
271. That is what follows ego-state assumption and the accompanying use of egotism,
so those assuming any roles that they believe define who they are will be
inspired by egotism to upgrade those roles, to upgrade their self-concept, and
to participate in self-aggrandizement, even though the conceived “self” or “selves”
are totally false.
272. Then, those assuming bogus personas as supposedly-actual identities will
believe that they are justified to do whatever is required to create and to
sustain their false self-image(s).
273. Insanity is evidenced by the fact that insane persons cannot differentiate
between true and false. As a result, they cannot differentiate between reality
and myth; between reality and superstition; between fact and fiction; between
roles being played vs. what is happening outside “The Theater of the Lie”; and between
the unity and perceived multiplicities.
274. The insanity of ego, in its extreme, manifests as the Sociopathic
Personality Disorder and / or the Psychopathic Personality Disorder, both of
which support unrestrained arrogance and limitless entitlement, all steeped in
duality and all generating such beliefs as:
“I have the ability and the right to decide who is moral and right and virtuous
and who is not.”
“I have the ability and the right to control people.”
“I have the ability and right to decide which single religion is the right one.”
“I have the ability and right to decide who lives and who dies.”
275. Relatively speaking, there is not a more lethal combination on the planet
than (a) the Sociopathic or Psychopathic Personality Disorder combined with (b)
unchecked arrogance and boundless entitlement.
276. To look at those quotes above and ...
a. to see that they are examples of the way that the disorders can manifest;
then,
b. to see how widespread those beliefs are throughout the population as a
whole; and then
c. to realize that the Sociopathic and Psychopathic Personality Disorders can
manifest in varying degrees
is to understand how widespread those two personality disorders are, by
whatever degree.
277. And the prerequisite for those (and all) disorders is personality. If there
is no false identity / personality at play, then there can be no sociopathic or
psychopathic behavior, there can be no arrogance, and there can be no sense of
entitlement.
278. If there is no false identity / personality at play, there can be no
bombing of crowds, there can be no slaughter of children, and there can be no
bombing of people in other countries while bragging about the fact that the
people of that nation (that is, a nation of “others”) are going to be “shocked
and awed” by the destruction that your military forces are going to subject
them to.
279. Therefore, Maharaj’s wake up call: “After the information given to you by
the mother, that you are a boy or girl, all your further acquisitions are but
hearsay.”
280. It is those persona-based “further acquisitions” that set the stage for
all insane thoughts; moreover; insane thoughts lead to insane words, and it is
from insane words (including the ones that happen when personas “speak”) that
insane deeds evolve. And all of that nonsense and insanity are rooted in false “hearsay.”
281. Thus, the point again: whatever one might take to be “the ills of the
planet and its people,” the ills all fall not under the over-simplified
umbrella of “good vs. evil” but under the umbrella of the Ultimate Sickness.
And those that understand the roots of that Sickness know that “the ills” are
not caused by one thing (namely, “evil”) but are caused by all things. The
cause of all is . . . all.
282.
Following the words “I am” with any word or words generates what Maharaj called
“ignorance” and “stupidity” and “insanity.” Why? To follow “I am” with any word
is to reinforce a false identity, and false identities (personalities) - in
turn - will support not only “ignorance” and “stupidity” and “insanity” but
also every possible personality disorder that exists.
283. The result: assumed personas are upgraded and then generate chaos,
including the personas revealed in such beliefs as:
“I am the Super Spouse, so I deserve nothing less than a Super Spouse, and I will end a marriage or break up a family if I have to in order to assure I am not with a non-Super Spouse and that I am with a Super Spouse”
and
284. “I am the Super Christian Who Has Been Told by My Holy Book That My Job Is
to Spread My Beliefs to ‘the Four Corners of the Earth’“
and
285. “I am the Super Muslim Who Has Been Told That My Job Is to Assure That
Everyone Follows the Teachings of Islam”
and
286. “I am the Super Reformer Who Will Not Leave People Alone But Who Must
Change Everyone Instead”
and
287. “I am a Citizen of the Greatest Country on Earth So I Have the Right to
Make the Rest of the World Accept Our Economic System, Our Political System,
Our Main Religion, Our Way of Doing Business, Our Lifestyle, Our Philosophy,
and Our Ideology . . . or Pay One Hell of a Price For Not Doing So”
and
288. “I am the Super Avenger Who Has the Right to Kill Those Whose Beliefs Are Not
Aligned with My Beliefs.”
289. See, it’s the insanity of ego and egotism, not “evil.”
290. What persons deem to be a result of “the evil in the world” or “the evil
forces at play” or “the evil generated by Satan” or “the evil that children are
sometimes born with that must be exorcised” does not exist.
291. Yet at his first mass, the newly-elected Pope Francis - who was supposedly
“going to pull Catholicism into at least the 19th or 20th
century” though not likely the 21st century - warned: “If we do not
confess, if we do not pray to the Lord, we are praying to the Devil.”
The realized have not confessed since realization, have not prayed to any “Lord” since realization, and have not prayed to “the Devil” since realization.
In other words, “I am the Super Catholic and I can identify who is behaving in a good way and who is behaving in a bad way and, therefore, who is good and who is bad; additionally, if you are not with us, you are against.”
[So much for Yeshu’a’s non-dual messaging after he left organized religion.]
Moreover, Francis has joined scores of popes - including John Paul II and Benedict most recently - in ignoring the widespread sexual molestation of Catholic children and other congregants which they were / are aware of.
Again, Maharaj: “Only that person will visit this place whose virtue and sin have come to an end.” That is, whose sin and virtue have both come to an end.
To be continued.

THE EXPLANATION
Yeshu'a (Jesus) and Pope John Paul II and Pope Francis were spot on:
"No one shall ever see 'the kingdom of heaven.' It is within"
and
"Heaven and earth shall fade away."
and
"Heaven and hell are not geographic places
"There is no hell."
teachings which become a part of the Papal Magisterium.
